having employed Mr.. Lewis I'll. Lee as
principal and Miss Annie Kehoe as assis-

The primary department will occupy
the band building on Lazelle street for
the present, and the old building will be
used by the principal with the first
grade.
There were 112 pupils enrolled last
year in this district, and the probabili-
ties are that this number has been large
" increased. The school will open under
rather favorable circumstances and good
results will no doubt follow.

In Colorado windstorm-storms these

In Middle Park, few years ago, party
of travellers were suddenly overtaken by
a storm. Seeing what they supposed to
be mass of huge boulders in the dis
lance, they made for them, thinking they
would afford at least partial shelter To
their surprise, as they approached, the
boulders suddenly broke loose and COM
meneed rolling toward them at furious
rate, cutting all sorts of curious capers
and gyrating menacingly as they came.
At times they would strike an obstruc-
ton and bound high in the air, and
again striking the ground resume their
rapid circular motion. The travellers put
spurs to their horses, and it was only by
the greatest effort they managed to es-
cape from the track of these monsters.
On examination they found their sup
posed boulders were really immense
weeds, which had been torn up by the
roots by the windstorm.
These weeds are so solid that they are
a great menace to man and beast under
such circumstances. Impelled by heavy
wind, they go with force enough to kill
a horse, and a human being is in great
danger if he cannot get out of the track
of these monsters when they are running

The Thousand Islands.

The Thousand Islands in the st. Law

pied by wealthy men who use them as
summer resorts. George NJ. Pullman
and other millionaires are among the
number. The late DR.. J. G. Holland,
author and poet, owned one which he
named .Bonniecastle.n Many fanciful
and poetic names are printed on the
hicks like advertisements, telling to the
orld that the owners desire to be rec

hich came grass and trees, and thus the
lands were made. Near the source of
lie river the rocks are large enough to
Bdiyide the water and form two channels
for many miles. The rockiest and Wild

and Montreal lies within the first fifty
miles from Kingston. About forty miles
down from Kingston the two channels
come together and form one stream.

Points on Memory.

General Grant had a fine memory as to
persons. Once a reporter met him in
San Francisco and had just a few words
with him. Five years afterwards he met
him in Washington. The General said
Yes, remember you, and called him by

not extraordinary.
"There are many freak memories,

Partisan FIy Catchers.

Fly-catchers have busy time of it in
Paris during the summer season. The
calling is not recognized or classified
one, nor do parents as a rule bring their
sons up to it. But there are hundreds of
experienced hands employed at it during
the dog days, and good haul of fiies-is
often profitable enough. The London
telegraph says:
The fy-catcher is generally a good-for-
nothing rascal from the suburban lanes
and alleys, who does not want to leave
Paris, and is too lazy to go into the
country for the hav-making or the har-
vesting. Sometimes he is person who
unites in himself a variety of callings,
being by turns corner errand-runner, a
bootblack, dog-shaver and clipper, or
even floor-waxer out of employment.
His method IS as follows: He takes a
tolerably large-sized box with a little hole
in its top, and stations himself outside a
grocer's shop where the winged insects
are busily buzzing against the window
panes on the lookout for stray drops of
molasses or chance grains of brown sugar.
These the catcher dexterously imprisons
in his palm, in the schoolboy fashion, aud,
dislocating some of their antenne, puts
them into his box. Some times he is al
lowed to pursue his calling inside the
shop when customers are not numerous,
and is thus enabled to fill his box with
celebrity.
After few hours of this exciting kind
of work he goes off with his spoil and dis
poses of it to the people who sell or keep
birds, His best and most open-handed
customers are the frail denizens of the
Quarter Breda or the Quastier de IEu-
rope, all of whom keep the feathered pets.
They often pay so good price to the fly
catcher for his spoil that he is enabled to
90 home after successful day with ample
means in his pocket to defray the cost of
bed and board for half week in one OF
his dingy haunts.
